From The Daily Mail:
The boss of Lotus sports cars has been banned from driving after he was caught speeding at 102mph.
Jean-Marc Gales, 54, was handed a 30-day ban after he was clocked breaking the 70mph limit as he test drove one of the company's new cars on the busy A11. The Luxembourg-born businessman avoided more points being added to the eight he already has on his license because it is 'vital' that he test drives new cars, his lawyer told magistrates.
If the aerodynamics of their cars are as slippery as the boss' excuses..!
One thought springs to mind, bearing in mind how many cars don't have proper names, just a random collection of letters and digits, would it not have been cooler if Lotus had a model "A11" (for example), and their boss just bombed up and down the A11 at ever increasing speed until he got caught? Then the next model could be be the "A14" (let's skip the A12 and A13), and they get an employee to repeat the stunt on the A14 etc (assuming that these letter/digit combinations haven't already been taken).
